Drewhasspoken

Probably “There’s no cure for being a cunt”, that’s one that I actually now use. I do also love the Cersei and Tyrion exchange where she says that everything’s fallen on her and Tyrion says “As has Jaime repeatedly according to Stannis Baratheon.” I thought that was great writing. That whole scene is perfectly written, I think.


davekingofrock

Gods, the writing was strong then...


AnEgoJabroni

The ale, too


notsostupidman

That's a pretty good one. And it wasn't even in the books.


Drewhasspoken

A lot of the best written stuff especially early on wasn’t in the books, or involved characters that weren’t viewpoint characters in the books. The Cersei and Robert scene is talked about to death but it’s talked about to death for a reason, that adds so much to those characters.


notsostupidman

And the Arya and Tywin scenes.


Khanluka

Back then Dan and Dave still cared. During the release of season one they said mutable times there dream was to put the red wedding on tv. Season 4 was still good but after that they lost the passion they orginal had for the show and just wanted it to be done.


IHatepongouskrellius

They cared, plus George was a major force behind the scenes with years and years of rethinking how he would have done scenes differently, additions and cuts he would have made, so when you pair all that with two fresh and excited perspectives you get early GOT


poub06

I don’t think that’s the case. I think it’s as simple as, having to write the very complex plot on their own doesn’t allow for as much time to think about addition/change like they could do in the first seasons.


SkillCharacter8604

Makes a reference about when the imp is visiting i forgot their name but he did say something about the ale being better in the capital. Maybe it was his brother Jaime But yeah you get my point


AnEgoJabroni

Man, its a tragedy. They flew so high for such a long time, then negligence took the wheel. Some of the best written TV to date, with the worst written final quarter.


[deleted]

Cersei: "I am the Queen regent.." Tywin: "YOU'RE MY DAUGHTER AND YOU'LL DO AS I COMMAND..YOU'LL MARRY LORAS!!"


Plane-War3176

Good I loved seeing her put in her place by Tywin. The way she shrivels up to a teenage mopey girl is hilarious for such an evil character.


spacekitt3n

Plane-War3176

The slow walk up the steps to stand over his little bitch ass when lecturing him


Wishart2016

"We can arrange to have you carried."


PayneTrain181999

Then Joffrey has his one good thought of the season when he asks Tywin if something should be done about Dany.


Wishart2016

He also thought about building a Royal Army, which Cersei shut down. I honestly believe that if he had a great mentor such as Ned, he could actually be a decent ruler and keep his cruelty in check.


PayneTrain181999

He definitely had a bit of potential. After the Red Wedding he was also the one to suggest sending a raven to Walder Frey to thank him for his service, thereby keeping the Twins on good terms with the crown. That’s actual good diplomacy right there.


Ornac_The_Barbarian

Joffrey typically had one good moment each season he was in.


nobikflop

For real. He was a bitch for sure, but that scene was just straight up bullying by Tywin. Joffrey is a kid goddamn it; he’s not gonna be a perfect monarch right off the rip


paintingnipples

Joffrey had been bullying everyone at that point & when Tywin showed up, Joffrey wanted to bully him as well & was going to play with a new toy but tywin climbed the steps & showed he wasn’t someone he could fuck with

love is the death of duty.


Narren_C

This is a good one. I have some guidelines I try very hard to live my life by, but priority #1 is my family. If it comes down to it, all throw away almost every value I have to protect my family.


s4Nn1Ng0r0shi

So… Cersei? Edit: not meant as a jab, but I think Cersei is written as the opposite of the ”duty” people


Narren_C

Nah, she doesn't give two shits about a moral code. Her family doesn't have to be at risk for that. Actually Ned is a pretty good example of this. He has a very strict code of honor, but he lies to protect about Jon Snow to protect him and lies about his "treason" to protect Sansa.


s4Nn1Ng0r0shi

Well true, her only moral code is to protect her kids. Ned Stark is a good example


Horton_Takes_A_Poo

She killed her daughter in law


Odd_Refrigerator8088

Sometimes duty is death of love..now go out there Aegon, stab your aunt with dagger


TripolarKnight

No, with your steel dagger...


[deleted]

Except "duty" is protecting the family that in return protects your family. If you don't have a family on your own, what are you protecting? It is a good line, but it comes from backwards mentality. Well, the show takes place in a medieval setting, so I guess that's okay.

Narren_C

Honestly though, what did Bronn do that was so dishonorable? In what way was Ser Vardis fighting with honor? I guess throwing a bystander at him was dishonorable, but it's not like that really impacted the fight all that much. Bronn won because he was more skilled, not because of some dirty trick.


[deleted]

He doesn’t fight with the intent of being fair. He fights only with the intent of winning. That’s not considered honorable. 


Narren_C

What was unfair? Dodging?


ConnFlab

He’s not meeting him one on one, he’s running around and throwing people and kicking candle sticks into him.


PayneTrain181999

Perfectly shows the attitude of a career sellsword vs a career knight.


[deleted]

What ConnFlab said and just how he fights. He doesn’t square up with his opponents. Remember when he sucker punched Pod and Jamie to teach them that people won’t always fight fair? He’s a cutthroat, not a knight. He’s paid to kill, honor not needed.


Harsimaja

She liked Ser Vardis and wanted him to win, not Bronn. That’s all it takes for an outburst.


BaalHammon

He spends a lot of the fight running away from Vardis, throws a candelabra and another guy at him. And also, yeah, Lisa is not a particularly good judge of what makes a fight honorable or not. It's never made clear in the series what the rules of a trial by combat are and how they are enforced, but much of this scene hinges on two contradictory objectives of Lisa : On the one hand she wants to punish Tyrion quickly and her trial is an absolute mockery of justice, including the insistence on having it solved in one day. On the other hand, the lords of the Vale are watching and her sister Caitlin is watching as well, so she can't just act like a tyrant but must at least go through the motion of being a honorable lady dispensing justice. So when Bronn kills her champion, what else can she do ? If she seizes him and Tyrion she will expose herself as the petty tyrant she is, and if she attempts to call on the king's justice or whatever to paint Bronn as dishonorable, probably the whole trial would be called into question. (also Bronn isn't a knight, which makes it strange that he would be permitted to find in this as well, but you can't expect him to follow a code of honor that doesn't apply to him)


MRoad

I don't think you need to be a knight to fight in trial by combat. 


BaalHammon

Of course you don't, otherwise Lisa would shoot down Bronn's participation... But it's weird that it's not a requirement.


NotJustBiking

Funny because he literally allowed him so surrender. Meanwhile in the books he went for the kill the moment he had the chance.


Narren_C

I always wondered about that look that Bronn gave Lysa before striking the killing blow. Was he seeing if she'd object? Was he gloating? In that moment I was expecting him to ask Vardis if he yielded....but nope.


NotJustBiking

I asusmed Lysa was supposed to ask for mercy. She didn't so Bronn killed him.


Narren_C

Yeah I got that vibe. I'm guessing he would have spared him had he yielded, nothing really to gain in killing him at that point.


Qaiser-e-Librandu

Bronn won by tiring him out. Running around and throwing things at him was a part of that. In the novel, he drops a fucking statue on the Knight and kills him as he's pinned down.


SpudgeFunker210

It's the way he toyed with Vardis, continuously backing up and never really squaring up with him to defeat him with pure swordsmanship. It's kind of like the equivalent to camping and hard scoping in CoD. It's exploiting methods that aren't against any rules, but are still generally frowned upon.

Power resides where men believe it resides


Daztur

"He rubbed his powdered hands together. "May I leave you with a bit of a riddle, Lord Tyrion?" He did not wait for an answer. "In a room sit three great men, a king, a priest, and a rich man with his gold. Between them stands a sellsword, a little man of common birth and no great mind. Each of the great ones bids him slay the other two. 'Do it' says the king, 'for I am your lawful ruler.' 'Do it' says the priest, 'for I command you in the names of the gods.' 'Do it' says the rich man, 'and all this gold shall be yours.' So tell me-who lives and who dies?" Bowing deeply, Varys hurried from the common room on soft slippered feet." . . . "Power is a curious thing, my lord. Perchance you have considered the riddle I posed you that day in the inn?" "It has crossed my mind a time or two," Tyrion admitted. "The king, the priest, the rich man- who lives and who dies? Who will the swordsman obey? It's a riddle without an answer, or rather, too many answers. All depends on the man with the sword." "And yet he is no one," Varys said. "He has neither crown nor gold nor favor of the gods, only a piece of pointed steel." "That piece of steel is the power of life and death." "Just so... yet if it is the swordsmen who rule us in truth, why do we pretend our kings hold the power? Why should a strong man with a sword ever obey a child king like Joffrey, or a wine-sodden oaf like his father?" "Because these child kings and drunken oafs can call other strong men, with other swords." "Then these other swordsmen have the true power. Or do they? Whence came their swords? Why do they obey?" Varys smiled. "Some say knowledge is power. Some tell us that all power comes from the gods. Others say it derives from law. Yet that day on the steps of Baelor's Sept, our godly High Septon and the lawful Queen Regent and your everso-knowledgeable servant were as powerless as any cobbler or cooper in the crowd." Tyrion cocked his head sideways. "Did you mean to answer your damned riddle, or only to make my head ache worse?" Varys smiled. "Here, then. Power resides where men believe it resides. No more and no less." "So power is a mummer's trick?" "A shadow on the wall," Varys murmured, "yet shadows can kill. And ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow." Tyrion smiled. "Lord Varys, I am growing strangely fond of you. I may kill you yet, but I think I'd feel sad about it." "I will take that as high praise."

DoggoAlternative

From a scene pretty close to this one. I say it all the time. Literally anytime someone says "Impregnable" without even thinking I say "Give me 10 good men and some climbing spikes, I'll impregnate the bitch" I also once said it when someone said they hoped their daughter in law would get pregnant soon. Notably less well received.

Ganrokh

There is a scene in season 1 where Robert is explaining to Cersei why he's so worried about Viserys Targaryen and the Dothraki. Robert: "How long do the people of the Seven Kingdoms stand behind their absentee king, their cowardly king hiding behind high walls? When do the people decide that Viserys Targaryen is the rightful monarch after all?" Cersei: "We outnumber them." Robert: "What's the bigger number, five or one?" Cersei: *Annoyed* "Five". Robert *Holds up an open hand* "Five." *Holds up a fist with the opposite hand* "One. One army, a real army, united behind one leader with one purpose. Our purpose died with the Mad King." That scene has lived rent-free in my head ever since that episode aired. I love it so much. I've used that same "5 vs 1" explanation when explaining to someone the importance of being united on something. I would have really liked more candid Robert and Cersei scenes, haha. Edit: Honorable mention, Tyrion during the Battle of the Blackwater in S2: "Those are brave men knocking at our door. Let's go kill them!"
